This is an incredible time-lapse video of an illustrator creating a stunningly good portrait of John Locke (Terry O’Quinn) from Lost using Photoshop.

Great stuff!

John Locke, mysteriously able to walk after the plane crash, but not before, is possibly the most interesting of all the characters on the show. Apparently leading a far from perfect life before the crash, working for a Box Company (Hurley’s?), paying to talk to his companion ‘Helen’ over the phone, and restricted to a wheelchair for the past 4 years.

Locke seemed tuned into the island ever since the early episode where he “saw into the eye of the island, and it was beautiful.” While we don’t know what the ‘eye of the island’ means, Locke seems to believe the island is telling him what to do.

After a preminition in the jungle Locke and Boone head off on an expedition which culminates in Boone being fatally injured.

Locke drops a dying Boone back at camp and then disappears… we later see him crying into the ‘hatch’ he’s kept a secret for so long, “Why are you doing this?!”. He hits the top of the hatch 4 times, and the light comes on….

What’s inside the hatch? Why does hitting it 4 times affect it? Are the numbers (4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42) a combination of some kind? Locke also hits the roof of his car 4 times when he’s upset in episode 1×19, ‘Deus Ex Machina’. Does this mean anything?

“The Philosopher of Freedom.”

“Good and evil, reward and punishment, are the only motives to a rational creature: these are the spur and reins whereby all mankind are set on work, and guided.” - John Locke
